Chapter 6: Ruby Red Hair
                          
Dean and Castiel walked into the bunker from Cain's house, Sam and Gabe already there. They all gathered in the living room, discussing their next action.
                          
"I still don't think we should go right now," Sam explained, "We should wait for God to turn around."
                          
"Sam, God doens't need to turn around, He's God," Dean reminded, "Plus, you heard Cain. He said that Lucifer was still weak, so this should take him out."
                          
"Yea, but Lucifer made the blade, and the mark," Sam pointed out, "You think Lucifer would make something that had the power to kill him?"
                          
"You would know, wouldn't you," Dean hissed.
                          
"Okay, that was years ago, Dean. I know I said yes, I know I drank more demon blood after I promised to stop. But, I did eventually lead him into the pit. He's been inside my head, and I was inside his. He's smart, no way he would do that," Sam defended himself.
                          
"Ladies, please," Gabe interrupted, "Can we not turn on each other?"
                          
Dean turned around, arms crossed against his chest, and closed his eyes, "I'm going. You can either come or not."
                          
"I'll come," Sam sighed, "You can use me for bait or something, being his true vessel and what-not."
                          
"I'll see who else is around," Gabe spoke, "I can't go with you, but I figure you need all the help you can get."
                          
Just as the conversation was coming to a close, there was the sound of a slamming door on the other side of the bunker. The four boys all snapped their necks in the direction of the sound, clenching some type of weapon in their hand. They heard the frantic pattering of footsteps carrying towards them, and they were ready to fight. They were surprised to find a red-headed woman appearing before them.
                          
"Charlie?" Dean unclenched his fists on his weapon, and placed it on Kevin's old desk.
                          
Charlie had a mix of fear and excitement spread across her face, "Yes, hi, I need your help."
                          
"What, why?" Sam stepped foward.
                          
"Well, something's gone wrong," Charlie huffed, still trying to catch her breath, "Oz is under attack."
                          
"Oz?" Gabe intervined.
                          
Dean looked at his and rolled his eyes before turning back to Charlie, "What happened?"
                          
"Well," Charlie started, "The witch is back. Apparently, we didn't really kill her, just temporarily trapped her soul, but all the trapped souls were banished, among them being the soul of the witch."
                          
"Oh, yea, I think I know why that happened," Gabriel laughed smugly, shooting Sam a look.
                          
"What?" Charlie saw the look Sam shot back at the cocky angel, "What happened while I was gone?"
                          
"Well, you see," Gabe started, unwrapping a lollipop and throwing it between his lips, "Sam accidentally released Hell on Earth."
                          
"Why would that affect Oz?" Charlie furrowed her brows.
                          
"I guess it affects all dimensions," Dean shrugged.
                          
"Well, please come with me," Charlie pleading, reaching out for Dean's hand.
                          
"Yea, sure," Dean went with Charlie towards the closest door.
                          
Charlie pulled out the key of Oz and forced it into the key hole of the door, twisting it. She threw the door open, revealing a damaged Oz. The yellow brick road was a worn out green, and the blue sky was covered up with a thick grey fog. The town that stood so gloriously in the middle of the land was now in ruins, falling to the ground slowly.
